Question 1

What is Spinning?

Accepted Answer

Spinning is indoor cycling in a group. You ride a special bike on which you set the resistance yourself, and the instructor guides you through a class with gradual build-ups in pace, climbs and intervals, all set to music.

It is one of the most effective ways to build your stamina without putting much strain on your joints. For more music and atmosphere, you can also try SoulRide.

Question 2

Is Spinning suitable for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You set your own resistance and pace and get clear coaching, so you can ride the whole class at your own level. Of all the high-intensity classes, Spinning is the most accessible.

Arrive a little early the first time and the instructor will help you set up your bike. If you'd like to see the club first, book a free introduction.

Question 3

How hard is Spinning?

Accepted Answer

Spinning is intense: your heart rate goes right up and you sweat a lot. But you decide exactly how hard it gets, using your resistance dial.

The music and the coach often push you further than you would go on your own. If you'd rather take it a little easier, SoulRide or Fatburning is a good alternative.

Question 4

What are the benefits of Spinning?

Accepted Answer

Spinning improves your cardio and your endurance, and strengthens your legs and core. You burn a lot of energy in a short time.

Because cycling is low-impact, it puts hardly any strain on your knees and ankles. That makes Spinning suitable for lots of people, even if running or jumping doesn't work for you. Combine it with strength training in the fitness area for a strong, fit body.

Question 5

What is the difference between Spinning and SoulRide?

Accepted Answer

Both classes take place on the bike. Spinning is all about performance, with intervals, climbs and a clear focus on conditioning. SoulRide puts more emphasis on music, rhythm and the overall experience, and is less competitive.

Plenty of members do both: Spinning to push themselves, SoulRide for the energy.

Question 6

Does Spinning help you lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Spinning burns a lot of energy, and that helps. That said, weight loss mainly depends on what you do and eat throughout the whole week.

Combine Spinning with strength training in the fitness area and healthy eating habits for the best results.

Question 7

What should I bring to Spinning?

Accepted Answer

Sportswear, trainers, a towel and a water bottle. Tight-fitting shorts or leggings are more comfortable on the bike than baggy ones. Arrive a few minutes early to set up your bike. You'll find the class times in the class schedule.

Question 8

How long is a Spinning class?

Accepted Answer

A Spinning class lasts 45 minutes. You'll find the current class times in the class schedule.

Question 9

How many times a week can I do Spinning?

Accepted Answer

One to three times a week works well for most members, depending on your recovery and your goal. Because cycling puts little strain on your joints, it combines well with strength training or a Total Body Workout class.

Question 10

Is Spinning suitable if you have knee or back problems?

Accepted Answer

Thanks to its low impact, Spinning is often a good choice if you have knee problems. A properly adjusted bike is important, though, especially if you have back problems: ask the instructor for help.

If you have ongoing pain, have it assessed first by our physiotherapy practice in the same building.
